a British technology research company is currently developing an aircraft that replaces the windows with OLED touch-screens that display the view from outside through cameras mounted on the plane’s exterior. According to The Center for Process Innovation, windows are one of the greatest sources of unnecessary weight in passenger planes. Another upside is that solid walls are stronger and allow the walls to be built thinner. Maybe sometime in the next 10 years windowless aircrafts will become a reality.

Vantablack (short for 'Vertically Arrayed Nanotube Arrays') is a new material that absorbs up to 99.965% of color making it the darkest color on earth. First adapters will be in the aerospace and defense industries, but being that it so closely represents the absence of light, one can only imagine the future possibilities.
